While I prefer being cordial while playing chess, I don't mind the occasional banter and trash talk if it's in good fun.
Of course, if you play on chess.com (or any other online game) for more than a few days, you'll meet the very angry players who take it to another level. For example, I got the following message after winning one bullet game but not accepting a rematch: "go kill urself u dumb redneck f*****g f****t. go **** ur cousins ****."
IMO, this guy is pretty insane.
So my question is, what's your own personal limit for trash talking? Do you let yourself go free with the rage that consumes you? Or do you pump the brakes and let the good times roll?
I really don't experience it very often. It used to happen a lot more.
In a case like the one you mentioned, I would report the guy.
